RDJ-sponsored alumni award to be presented to UN military adviser
The University of Galway’s alumni award for law, public policy and society is to be awarded to Major General Maureen O’Brien, deputy military adviser to the Secretary General of the United Nations.
The award, sponsored by RDJ LLP, will be presented at a gala banquet on Friday 16 June 2023.
Now in their 22nd year, the alumni awards recognise individual excellence and achievements among the university’s 128,000 alumni worldwide.
Professor Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh, president of the University of Galway, said: “It is the mission of our university to make the world a better place through our teaching, research, and impact.
“Our alumni awards programme recognises alumni who make a positive difference in the world and who are leaders in their chosen fields.
“I’m particularly pleased this year that we can honour a diverse group of alumni who have made a positive impact in the world and for the world, both nationally and internationally.
“I congratulate each awardee and I look forward to welcoming them back to their alma mater for the gala banquet in June.”
